Art + Body

Established in Mount Maunganui since 2012 and now 10 years old, Art + Body Creative Studio is the creative brain child of Julie Paama-Pengelly, a waahine Maaori artist who has practiced in Aotearoa's visual arts and education for over 30 years. With its own individual personality and air (and a literal bus), Art + Body is home to artists from a variety of creative backgrounds with a similar passion for people and artistry.

"Art is Freedom" Art + Body is a gallery collective of professional talented artists and designers offering Commissioned Art, Maaori Art, Design, Taa Moko, Tattoo, Cosmetic Tattoo & Barbering expertise - we exhibit and sell unique art.
